Before you begin your tour of the home of

Boyd and Lucy Morros and their 6-year-old daughter, take a careful look at the exterior. Notice the variety of gables, peaks and angles on this Tudor-style three-story house. This exterior appearance is also represented on the inside by many rooms which are – not the traditional four walls at right angles to each other.

Boyd and Lucy both grew up in this neighborhood and were attracted to this house because of the Tudor style, the side entry which provides for an extra large living room, and because the rooms on the second and third floors have a unique character. The Morroses’ interest in different shapes can also be seen in a sculpture in the living room called “Canvas and Wood” which was done by a friend. As you tour the Morroses’ home, you too will become aware of the character which attracted them. R.L.
